I have an interview this week for a seasonal helper position. Can someone give me some insight on what to expect during the holiday season? Eg. Hours per day, days per week, rate of pay, etc.

It really depends.... I worked about 5- 6 hours when I was hired during peak, I always got asked to stay and help out, I think I was making 8.50 an hour... but you kinda get the bad end of the stick... I was always asked to help loaders and was usually there til 9:30 everyday... Loaders would leave and I would be stuck wrapping up...

I went to a group interview for a UPS seasonal driver helper position a little over a week ago. The person who conducted the interview was a UPS driver and he just asked us all a few questions and we filled out this form that stated your availability, uniform sizes, etc. After the interview he scheduled us for a paid orientation where the driver told us they teach us about the job and how to use the diad. I'm not sure at this point if I'm going to attend the orientation because I had a drug test done for a part time position at Fedex so I'll most likely be hired by them plus I already work part time now. If I do get hired by Fedex I'm not sure if the manager will allow me to work at UPS even though its just a seasonal position where I'll be terminated on 12/31. I would like to do the position because of the extra money and the exercise but I'm not sure if its considered a conflict of interest working for two shipping companies. Also the pay rate for the location I live in for the seasonal driver helper position is $9 per hour.
